stayed here for 3 nights b&b, 27th oct-30th oct. was recommended by friends. it may seem a bit isolated but coleraine is only 7 miles away and ballymena 13 miles. could not fault anything in the hotel. rooms are large and roomy including bathroom. staff very friendly and helpful. the owner Jane was very helpful and went out of her way to make sure everything was fine for you. will definitily be going back.

Myself, my husband and our little dog Angus stayed here in one of the self catering cottages in mid-August 2011 and had a fabulous time. The cottage cost us £100 per night and though this may seem a little expensive without breakfast the massive plus for us was that we could take it for just 2 nights and that we could bring our dog with us. Having rang around more places than I care to think about, nowhere would accept a booking for less than a week in the summer months and not too many places were keen on pets. I was delighted when I found this option and I was more than willing to pay for it.

Check-in was quick, easy and really friendly. We were taken to the cottage and shown around. First impressions were good. We settled in very quickly. The cottage was tidy, homely and turned out to be comfortable and cosy yet there was plenty of space for the three of us. It had an open plan design with the dining area, kitchen and living room occupying the same space. There was a lovely open front fire and there was plenty of fuel on the fireplace to get it going. The front of the cottage looked towards the road and the back looked out over the beautiful golf course - the view was stunning and the dog enjoyed watching the golfers.

The bedroom was a great size, had lovely views, 2 double beds, 2 chairs, a small flat screen TV, tea/coffee making facilities, plenty of storage and an ensuite bathroom. The bed we slept in proved to be pretty comfortable but I couldn’t say the same for the pillows. The bathroom was large and had both a bath and separate shower. We did self-cater while here and the kitchen was perfectly well equipped for us to do so. As well as plenty of kitchen equipment and crockery, the cottage was also equipped with a flat screen free-view TV, a DVD player and a CD player.

We didn’t eat in the restaurant but we did have drink in the bar and it was comfortable and cosy in keeping with the general vibe. The food certainly smelt very tempting and the menu looked good. We had our car with us for exploring and we were able to park it right in front of the cottage. The brown trout is perfectly positioned along the River Bann and is ideal for exploring the North Coast and the many beautiful places it has to offer. There was a small shop just around the corner and the nearest supermarket was only a few miles away.

If I had to be negative I would mention the dodgy pillows again, the bathroom was not particularly great and I have to admit that it wasn’t spotlessly clean but we honestly could not have asked for a better stay with our dog.

So myself, my wife, our 10 month old daughter and a load of friends all stayed here due to a friends wedding locally.
We travelled over and arrived on the Friday to find that the cottages were not quite ready -as we were before 1500 hours. Some of the group decided to use the bar facilities - while our cottage was ready and we checked in. The cottages are excellent value for large groups. Two large bedrooms with two double beds and one single. Also a cot in ours for the little one. Each bedroom has a big bathroom with bath and powershower. The main rooms have a TV with freeview and a large kitchen with all you need. We bought food locally and cooked breakfast every morning.
The bar facilities are excellent and the food was also good. A few of the group played golf and thoroughly enjoyed the course.
The location makes it ideal for trips to the Giants Causeway and also Portrush - both places we visited during our brief weekend stay.
The cottages I would thoroughly recommend to large groups, and families looking for value for money and a peaceful setting.
